snow pear, and apple composite fruit puree can be affected by non-enzymatic browning during storage decreasing the market value of the product. This study aimed to explore, using kinetic methods, the effects of non-enzymatic precursors (polyphenols and ascorbic acid) and intermediates (5-hydroxymethylfurfural) on fruit puree stored at 4 °C for 35 days. The results showed that ascorbic acid fitted the first-order reaction model, while the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was consistent with the complex reaction model. Furthermore, the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content was 1.53 ± 0.18 mg/L, (corresponding to an increase of 565%), and the ascorbic acid content was 0.88 ± 0.22 mg/100 g, (corresponding to a decrease of 98.5%). The results also demonstrated a change in the titratable acid, soluble solids, and pH of the fruit puree. Finally, the correlation results revealed a significant correlation between non-enzymatic browning and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, titratable acid, and pH (p < 0.05). Overall, the results suggest that the Maillard reaction could be responsible for the non-enzymatic browning of fruit purees during storage.

Ready-to-eat (RTE) abalones, scallops and oysters were prepared through a process of cooking, drying, vacuum packaging, and high-temperature sterilization, and were subjected to accelerated storage. Upon storage, the three RTE shellfishes all showed color deterioration, as indicated by darker color, decreased L* and W* values, and increased a* value. In contrast, the color deterioration of RTE oysters was more pronounced.

Article Synopsis
- Lotus rhizome soup is popular for its unique taste, but its color can affect people's appetite.
- The study examined two types of lotus rhizomes—Miancheng (MLR) and Elian No. 6 (ELR)—to see how cooking affects their polyphenol, organic acid, and iron content, revealing that cooking MLR for 12 minutes created a red soup, while ELR stayed white.
- Findings indicate that certain polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin and epicatechin, contribute significantly to the red color, and factors like pH levels and metal-chelating agents can help prevent this color change, leading to new methods for managing soup color.
Metabolomics analysis reveals the non-enzymatic browning mechanism of green peppers (Piper nigrum L.) during the hot-air drying process.

Non-enzymatic browning (NEB) reduced the colour quality of hot-air dried peppers, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. This may be related to the degradation of chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and polyphenols. The findings revealed that the surface of pepper gradually browned during hot-air drying, with the ΔE value and browning degree (BD) significantly increasing by 119.

The quality of Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizome is considerably influenced by steaming, a post-harvest procedure; however, the mechanisms behind this quality formation are not well understood. This study explored two innovative streaming methods for Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizome: constant temperature and humidity steaming and drying (CTHSD) and constant temperature and humidity combined with vacuum-steam pulsed steaming and drying (CTH + VSPSD). Traditional atmospheric steaming, simmering, and drying (ASD) were also used.

A color-deepening effect of theaflavins on the theanine-glucose thermal reaction model was revealed. Generated chromogenic intermediates in the initial stage and an accelerated browning rate through the promoted degradation of theanine-glucose Amadori rearrangement product in the intermediate and final stages are responsible for the color-deepening effect. Four pink-to-red theaflavin-theanine intermediates were verified as theaflavinies referencing the nuclear magnetic resonance and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry information on theaflavins and l-theanine, including one accurately identified as theaflavinie 4.
